The Doublecluster is one of my favourite targets, to which I often return only to be mesmerized just as much as the first time I saw it.
It is quite an easy target for imaging as well. Wanted to try longer exposures on it for the first time, to see if I was able to bring out even fainter stars and more detail such as different colors.
It came out quite nice.
So, to everyone to be enchanted by this beautiful object, I present to you, the Double Cluster in Perseus :) Enjoy!
